details our practices related to the collection, use and disclosure of
your
personal information. We value your trust and appreciate your important sponsorship.
If you have any questions or comments concerning our personal information management

What Information We Collect and How We Use That Information:
Our registration forms require users to give us contact information that may include name, email address, format preference (HTML vs. Text), address, interests, and similar information. We do not request or store sensitive information from our visitors, such as credit card or social security numbers.
Members who wish to ensure that their information is not shared should contact AWF using the instructions provided below.
Internet Protocol Address:
We collect an IP address from all visitors to our Site. An IP address is a number
that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We
use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server,
administer our Site, analyze trends, track users' movement, gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use in order for us to improve the site, and deliver
customized, personalized content. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Use of "Cookies":
Our Site may use cookies to enhance your experience while using our Site. Cookies
are pieces of information that some websites transfer to the computer that
is browsing that website and are used for record-keeping purposes at many websites. Use of cookies makes Web-surfing easier by performing certain functions
such as saving your passwords, your personal preferences regarding your use
of the particular website and to make sure you don't see the same ad repeatedly.
Many consider the use of cookies to be an industry standard.
Your browser is probably set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer
not to receive cookies, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse
cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that
some areas of our Site will not function properly when you view them.
Security:
All information provided to the African Wildlife Foundation is transmitted using
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets
your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to
us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of
our Site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of the African
Wildlife Foundation. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet
is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure
or warrant the security of such information.
